The community of greater Portland is invited once again to recycle their unwanted electronics at the 7th Annual Community Electronic Recycle Day at USM on April 20, 2019, Woodbury Campus, 35 Bedford Street in Portland. This is our 7th year holding the event, which has recycled and kept out of the waste stream, thousands of pounds of electronics.

Disposing of electronics responsibly through recycling is crucial in keeping our community clean and vibrant.

The recycling event is free and open to the public. We will be accepting monetary donations. Show your appreciation for free recycling by donating.

See you there: rain or shine!
